Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

This is based on "Mom's Zucchini Bread" from allrecipes.com. My wife and I have been experimenting to get it more to our taste (like adding chocolate, cutting down on oil, etc). It is really, really good. It usually takes the full 60 minutes to cook, but I think our oven runs a little cool. I probably use more than 2 cups of zucchini -- 3 small or 2 larger ones.<br><b>INGREDIENTS</b><br><ul><li>3 cups all-purpose flour</li>
